I've lost the most beautiful person in the world - My Mother

Philippines
October 27, 2012 2:12pm CST
I lost my Father two years ago and now my Mother just several hours ago. No words can describe what I'm feeling right now. Sad that we will be celebrating Christmas without her and yet happy that she's now free from her illness/health problems. Still her passing is so sudden and how I wish I could turn back time to tell her how much I love her and how very grateful I am for all that she did for me, my siblings, my kids. Cliche as it may sound but I don't want to remember how she died rather I want to remember how she live. And to all those who still have their mothers (and/or fathers) with them, please give them your hugs, your kisses, your time, your presence, and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. God Bless!

Oh Eppie2010 I am so sorry, no words can help you get through this awful time just a lot of good friends and family! I lost my mother 2 years ago and then her mum (my nan)3 months later, even now I haven't dealt with it, I go to sleep therapy sessions as I have vivid dreams all night every night, very draining! I know my problem is I do not relax and need to come to terms with everything but am worried if I relax I will break down and then will not be in control. I guess I am telling you this so you don't go through the same thing I have. I have realised life is far to short regardless of anything though and am so thankful I have so many happy memories like you have. Take care and sending you a big hug xx If you every want to offload then I will always listen (well read!) xx

I can relate a bit.. I can't look at my Mother's remains during the wake, it was only on the day of the burial at the church last blessing when I finally saw her again. I know I will breakdown if I'd look right away, confirming things that I refused to accept at that time. I'm just very grateful to have family, relatives and friends to count on for support. Also I never thought that I can find comfort and support from mylot & other online friends, people that I'm not familiar with in real life. It's really a great experience. Thanks for people like you (and all the other members who responded to this topic) those that made time to write, share, and offer their friendship, I'm so overwhelmed. God Bless you all! :)

Love Forever - The love between a mother and a daughter is forever.
Hi Eppie, really sorry to hear about your situation. You must have been through a really hard time. It is not easy, i can understand. Although my parents are still around, but i could not bear the thoughts of them leaving my sight. However, things happens for a reason. Although it may be sudden, but do take courage and be strong. I know there is nothing much i can do, but i can give you my moral support and strength here, and wish that you can overcome the lost. Every human being on this earth will need to leave one day, even i myself will leave this earth one day. Just that our time has not yet come. I believe your mother has leave the best for you and your family, and would not wish to see you shed tears, but be strong to live for the family. God is your Strength, and He is your Comforter. I would like to share this i found, "The love between a mother and daughter is forever!" =) Grace of the Lord is sufficient for you. Take care.

When mom passes away we lose our original life, original world and we are drag the rest of our life being in a dumy life in a dumy world. We can say only mom is our own.

Thank you so much to both of you, it's been a while since I made my last post here at MyLot and two weeks ago I thought I could never talk about my Mom the same way again and now here I am trying to continue life like before as I know my Mom would like it to be that way.

My eepest sympathy to you and your family. Losing a loved one is really hurt so badly that sometimes you feel it is very difficult to move on without them. I also lost my mother more than a decade already, yet I still long for her specially when my friends would say something about their mothers. They are our bestfirends, they understand every inch of our personality more tahn anybody else, even our spouses. That is why losing a mother is like losing oe half of you.

You're right, my Mother is also my BFF (best friend forever) and though I can't talk to her the way I'm use to, I can still talk to her in my prayers, tell her of my plans, my accomplishments. I'm positive that even after a decade, I will continue to long for her just like you for your mom. Thanks so much, really appreciate your message.

Yes, funny now that I pray a lot longer because it's also my way of talking to them, it somehow lessen the burden of missing them both. Thanks for your response, God bless!

I am sorry for you loss Eppie, people come and go, but they taught us many things that would make you a better person. Yes, you lost one of the most important person in your life, but still, the show must go on. Eternal Rest grant unto the soul of Eppie's mother, O Lord. And Let the light of God shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.

It's a very sad thing, when the people we love, leaving us forever. I really understand your feelings. I'm sorry, you lose the one you love. You should always send a prayer for your parents. I'm sure your mother does not want you dissolve in grief.

Sad to hear it. Its really an irony when our parents are alive we don't understand their value and once they pass away we realize how important they were in our lives. I also would tell people from my response that don't let your parents feel alone and always love them.

This is very true especially if you have parents that are seniors or in their golden years (60 years old up) like mine was, this is the time to make them feel that they are not alone, and that they still matter. Thanks for your response and have a happy weekend..

First my heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences for the recent passing of your beloved mother. You really lost the most beautiful and wonderful person we can ever have. Not that the father is less likely than the mother, but mothers are different. When you feel sick, the first person you will be looking is mother. When you are looking for something missing, the automatic thought is, mother. When you have a problem, the first person you will be consulting is mother. Mother. Mother, Mother. So for those of you who still have mothers and fathers, PLEASE don't take them for granted. Love, serve, respect and honor them, while there is still time. Besides, It is the commandment of God with the beautiful promise.

As always, you were able to share the right words, a good insight about mothers. "Honor thy father and mother." The first commandment with a promise.. I have to look it up again :) thanks Mangtony and have a blessed weekend!

I still have both my father and mother. I usually don't express my love for them. They always remind us, their children, that we should always express our love for them while they are still alive. We would feel sorry and regret that we didn't do when they are still alive. Then, I realize how important time is that as much as we can, we should express our love to our parents.

Hi Entrep nice to "see" you here.. I guess now you'll take my advice and make time to express your love to your parents. I'm not also "showy" when I was young, I don't usually say I love you or give hugs/kisses to my parents, it's only when I got kids of my own that I realize the importance and effect of these gestures to your love ones. Have a blessed and loving weekend to you...

Yes, I do feel lucky that I still have my mother and father. I often took their presence for granted but an orphan friend of mine made me realize (albeit unconsciously) how valuable they are. They are the people I automatically run to when I am in trouble and they would never turn their back on me. I am sure your parents loved you very much and you them. I feel for your loss. But be happy for them also. They are in a better place now.

Well said, I agree... thanks for the sympathy and also for the kind words, I really appreciate it. God Bless..

Im so very sorry for your loss. My mother passed away in 2007 when I was 17. Although my mum was my best friend, there are still things I regret never saying to her. She was a truly wonderful mother and I loved her so much. I obviously still do! That will never fade. Her passing was very sudden, which only made things harder as we didn't have time to prepare ourselves for it. Christmas is always one of the hardest times I'm sad to say but never forget that you are never TRULY alone, even if you may feel it. We all think about the 'what ifs', where we dwell on things we should've said when given the opportunity but you can't live that way. It took me a while to learn that myself but in time, I hope you will see. Take care.

I am so sorry to read that you have lost your mother. I have not lost either of my parents so I can only imagine how you feel. It would be terrible. I am glad she isnt ill or in pain anymore but its still so sad for us when the people we love die. I lost my husband due to heart disease 2 years ago in March.

I'm sorry to know about your husband.. now that I'm technically an orphan (in my 40's) I can't imagine how my life would be like without my husband or my children. Thank you for your sympathy and for taking the time to share your story. God Bless!

First, accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. May she rests in peace. I understand how you feel this time. I just lost my mom about 6 months ago. Whenever somebody lose a parent, my mom will immediately come into my mind. I already miss her.

Thanks toxic_lifestyle :) I hope you take my advice, show your love to your love ones while you still can. Don't just assume that they know it, tell it to them, it's much nicer to hear that someone loves and cares for you. Have a happy weekend!

My condolences Eppie2010.. As I became a mother now, I value my mom more. I regretted all the pain I cause her and would love to do more for here. I hope that in the near future I would be able to help her more financially and give her treats that she deserves.

How true! I guess we can only appreciate our parents' efforts once we become one ourselves.. same realization for me when I became a mom especially now that my kids are growing and most of the time gives me headaches :), made me love and appreciate my mother even more. Thanks Estremms and have a happy & blessed weekend!

Thank you for your response and for being a friend.. I really never thought that a simple sincere message from people I'm not familiar with - could make a difference but it does. Thanks, really appreciate it. :)
